Many Fathers were at Nicea and they all agreed regarding it...go read about it!
I could explain away all the words of scripture by declaring them to be idioms.
Here is what I have:
τριτην ταυτην ημεραν αγει αφ ου ταυτα εγενετο
third this DAY it-IS-LEADING FROM WHICH these BECAME
Let's count this out.
Let's start with today.
Today is Wednesday
One day from now will be Thursday.
Two days from now will be Friday.
Three Days from now will be σαββατου.
the date of Pascha (SUNDAY) was reckoned at the Council. no backpeddling. You can file it any way you want...Back peddling and telling me to go read a book doesn't make a very convincing argument for your absolute assertion. I'll file that under improbable.
1st of the week or day 1 was still Sunday...
the date of Pascha (SUNDAY) was reckoned at the Council. no backpeddling. You can file it any way you want...
I remember when I first talked about this with you and visionary in a thread I created:Did Yahshua Rise on the 7th Day Shabbat...
...or could it have been another day of rest?
(CLV) Mk 16:9
Now, rising in the morning in the first (πρωτη) sabbath (σαββατου), He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons.
You are doing it backwards..
Council? What council? I don't subscribe to the fallacies argumentum ad populum, nor argumentum ab auctoritate. I prefer scripture and logic.
I could say the same thing about you. That won't get us anywhere. Can you present a logical argument? We're all intelligent learned people here. If we work together; we can help each other to find a lot of truth that we might find difficult to find as individuals.
When laying out the calendrical schema from Genesis 1:1-2:3 it becomes clear that Yeshua died on the 3rd Day (e.g. Tuesday) in 14th Day of the 1st Month.
Thanks again HARK! I'm glad to contribute my knowledge on this subject. Right off the bat I can tell he's close but still off the mark.Hi Humble Penny,
Welcome!
With all of the research that you have been doing regarding calendars and dates, I was really looking forward to having you join us here.

Some important details I forgot to add in post #31 is that the ancient Roman Calendar began in the spring in the month of March. The Roman new year wouldn't begin in January until c.-153 BC, though it seems that many still observed the new year in March as it aligned with the seasons while January was simply kept for civil and administrative purposes. The exact reasons for the change are still unclear to me.Thanks again HARK! I'm glad to contribute my knowledge on this subject. Right off the bat I can tell he's close but still off the mark.
What Calendar System Does the Bible Use?
It must be rightly understood that none of our man-made calendars are useful past the date of their creation: therefore the Gregorian Calendar is unusable for all dates before 1582 AD; and in like manner the Julian Calendar is unusable for all dates before -45 BC; the same can be applied for the modern Hebrew/Jewish Calendar.
That said we must seriously ask ourselves, what calendar system is actually being presented in the Bible? An objective view would show that it is a solar calendar which begins in the spring and consists of a base year of 360 Days with 4 Intercalary Days inserted at the head of each season/quarter. We know it cannot be lunar or astral as God began His work in the light of Day and not the darkness of Night, and all forms of lunar calendars are well known to not keep the year reliably. With that said people can use any type of calendar converter they want, and they will always get the "correct date" according to that calendar system, but when placed against the Law and the Prophets they fall short.
When was Yeshua Born?
This brings us to our dating system which is heavily misunderstood and leads people to have dates all over the place, especially as it regards the death of Yeshua. Setting aside arguments for the true date of creation I have found that whether one uses the Septuagint, Masoretic Text, or rabbinic date for creation: Yeshua cannot be born on any date before 0 BC/ 1 AD, nor can He die at any date after 30 AD. This is because common sense would dictate that all dates from -1 BC and earlier tell us how many years there will be before Yeshua is born, really this is like counting down from 10 Seconds to 0 Seconds. Why people continue to throw out common sense when counting down the years leading to Yeshua's birth is puzzling to me. Ancient historians tell us that Yeshua was born in the 42nd Year of Augustus Caesar which corresponds to the 33rd Year of Herod the Great in the 2nd Year of the 195th Olympiad, this is 42 Years after Augustus came into power in the 184th Olympiad.
When did Yeshua Die?
As to His death this is easy to verify when we look at the reigns reported by ancient historians who tell us that Yeshua died in the 202nd Olympiad. Sadly these ancient dating systems are largely overlooked by many scholars and believers because we wrongly believe that everyone just used the Anno Domini system, but this is far from the truth for it wasn't created until 525 AD: which is 525 Years after Christ was born. So, to figure out the age Christ died we must simply calculate the years in between the date of His birth and death:
42nd Year of Augustus to Christ's Death
202 Olympiads
194.5 Olympiads
7.5 Olympiads
7.5 Olympiads × 4 Years = 30 Years
...and to be absolutely sure these numbers are correct we must know the number of years which Augustus and Tiberius reigned...
1st Year of Augustus to 15th Year of Tiberius
202 Olympiads
184 Olympiads
18 Olympiads
18 Olympiads × 4 Years = 72 Years
While the historical record differ slightly by a few months to a year on the total length of Augustus' reign: they all agree on which Olympiad he came into power and, the Olympiad in which Christ died during the reign of Tiberius. These numbers tell us that Augustus Caesar ruled for 57 Years, and that Christ died in His 30th Year in the 15th Year of Tiberius. This aligns perfectly with what we read in Luke 2 & 3 and Matthew 2.
Conclusion
After aligning the biblical narrative and chronology with ancient historical sources it is clear that Yeshua died at 30 Years old in the spring during the 15th Year of Tiberius Caesar at the close of the 202nd Olympiad. This corresponds to our Anno Domini year 30 AD.
Here is some information that I pulled from a thread that I created in 2020:
Bikkurim at the center of Hag Matzot
Let's look at Pesach and Hag Matzot first.
(CLV) Lv 23:5
In the first month ion the fourteenth day of the month between the evening hours is the passover to Yahweh.
Yahshua died on the torture stake on Pesach
(CLV) Lv 23:6
And on the fifteenth day of this month is the festival of unleavened bread to Yahweh. Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.
The fifteenth day is when Yahshua was in the grave. for the first night.
(CLV) Lv 23:8
And you will bring near a fire offering to Yahweh seven days. On the seventh day is a holy meeting, when you shall do not occupational work at all.
(CLV) Ex 12:18
In the first month on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until day twenty one of the month, in the evening.
Mag Matzot begins at sundown on the transition from the 14th to the 15th.
14 day (Yahshua in the grave) 15 night/day 16 night/day 17 night/day 18, 19, 20, 21 = 7 days
(CLV) Lv 23:7
On the first day you shall come to ›have a holy meeting, when you shall do no occupational work at all.
The first day, the 15th of Hag Matzot is a Shabbat.
14 day (Yahshua in the grave) 15 (Shabbat) night/day 16 night/day 17 night/day 18, 19, 20, 21 = 7 days
(CLV) Lv 23:10
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you will say to them, When you come into the land which I am giving to you and reap its harvest, you will bring a sheaf of the firstfruit of your harvest to the priest.
Bikkurim
(CLV) Lv 23:11
He will wave »the sheaf before Yahweh for acceptance on your behalf. From the morrow of the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Bikkurim begins on the evening after the first Shabbat after the 15th
(CLV) Jn 20:1
Now, on one of the sabbaths, Miriam Magdalene is coming to the tomb in the morning, there being still darkness, and is observing the stone taken away from the door of the tomb.
Yahshua rose during the night, on the first Shabbat after the 15th.
14 day (Yahshua in the grave) 15 (Shabbat) night/day 16 night/day 17 (Shabbat) night/Yahshua rose/day 18, (Bikkurim) 19, 20, 21 (Shabbat)= 7 days
15 (Shabbat) night/day 16 night/day 17 (Shabbat) night/Yahshua rose/day
18, (Bikkurim)
19, 20, 21 (Shabbat)
It would put Yahshua in the grave before sundown on Wednesday.
True enough but you still don't get 3 Days and 3 Nights:Go do some research on Jewish inclusive reckoning .... and then there is sense made about the matter. Inclusive reckoning is not a 24-hour period.
That said we must seriously ask ourselves, what calendar system is actually being presented in the Bible? An objective view would show that it is a solar calendar which begins in the spring and consists of a base year of 360 Days with 4 Intercalary Days inserted at the head of each season/quarter.

What did Christ say?
"for just as Jonah was 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of the sea monster, so will the Son of Man be 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth."
Matthew 12:40 NASB1995
And what does the prophet Jonah tell us?
"And the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish 3 days and 3 nights."
Jonah 1:17 NASB1995
Where is your third night at? The Friday Crucifixion got the 3rd Day message right from the mouth of our Lord Yeshua, but it seems they somehow missed the 3rd Night as well. And you are right that a full 24 Hour period was counted because our Lord's clear words said only 3 Days and 3 Nights: He did not mention that they had to be full days and nights, and the story of Jonah supports this; and the story of Noah supports this as well for the beginning of the 40 Days and 40 Nights of the Flood seems to have begun late in the day; the fast of Moses seemsindicate that he didn't begun his fast exactly at the beginning of the day but later in the day shortly after the Golden Calf incident.
There are some key words we miss from our Lord, and these words help us prove that He didn't count the first day He was buried:True enough but you still don't get 3 Days and 3 Nights:

Sorry but this method of counting is not what we see in the Word of God dear brother...the first time we see a counting of days and nights is with the Flood of Noah. We are told it rained for 40 Days & 40 Nights, if what you say is true then why would God make an otherwise pointless distinction between how many days and nights passed? We know our God YHWH nor His Son, our Lord and Savior Yeshua, bother to waste anytime with superflous words, but instead are very exact with their choice of words.It is a Jewish idiom. A typological metaphor. Synecdoche. Yeshua also said "on the 3rd day". The eyewitness on the road to Emmaus prove the 3 day timeline. Inclusive counting was employed. " R. Eliezar Ben Azariah said, A day and a night make an Onah, and a part of an Onah is as the whole". "Part of an onah is as the whole" - R. Ishmael
